Iran’s indigenous Persian Gulf missile enjoys a unique design which is capable of rendering enemy tactics ineffective, says the naval commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

“The Persian Gulf missile functions differently compared to the common trend and can alter the equations that the enemy counts on,” Fars news agency quoted Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi as saying on Monday.

In early 2011, Iran started the mass-production of the anti-ship missile which is designed to destroy targets and hostile forces at sea.

The supersonic projectile, which carries a 650-kilogram warhead, is immune to interception and features high-precision systems.

Rear Admiral Fadavi made a reference to the expertise of the IRGC specialists in overhauling missile systems and vessels, and pointed out that the force’s ‘extensive’ technical know-how has enabled Iran to manufacture such systems domestically.

He also noted that Iran possesses the technology to launch superfast anti-submarine rockets which can travel at the speed of 100 meters per second under water, making the country second only to Russia in possessing the technology.

The Iranian commander added that the US has not developed such subsonic underwater weapons despite spending more than USD 20 billion over 15 years to achieve the know-how.

The remarks came two days after the IRGC added the domestically-designed and manufactured Tondar-class vessel to its naval fleet in Persian Gulf.

In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.

The country has repeatedly made it clear that its military might is merely based on the state's defense doctrine of deterrence and that it poses no threat to other countries.

The smart missile, named "Persian Gulf", traverses at supersonic speed and destroys targets 300km in distance.

Military experts said that 'Persian Gulf' is deemed as a step ahead in the IRGC Navy missile capability not just because of its higher velocity, but because the IRGC Navy missiles mainly belonged to the cruise class, "while Persian Gulf is a ballistic missile which flies vertically after being launched from a platform on the ground".

"Persian Gulf enjoys a combined guidance system," experts said, and explained, "Its search and targeting system locks on the target only in the final phase, giving enemy vessels no chance of escape."

The solid-fuel missile has a 650kg warhead and has been designed by the research center of the IRGC Aerospace Force and mass-produced by the Defense Ministry.

The smart, solid-fuel anti-ship missile was displayed during the military parades at the mausoleum of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, the Late Imam Khomeini, in Southern Tehran today.

The parades mark the start of the Week of Sacred Defense, commemorating Iranian sacrifices during the 8 years of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.

Each year, the Iranian Armed Forces display the country's latest military achievements and products in nationwide parades on September 22.
